smartWARE Process Manager (from version 452.7.0.1.0)
The current Supervision smartWARE program will be replaced by the new smartWARE Process Manager.
This version includes troubleshooting and an improvement to process monitoring in Windows. Process monitoring is now handled by a background service (daemon) that can run independently of an active user session in Windows.
Troubleshooting
-
Scale error in the analysis:
If the measuring unit for a channel was changed in the device (e.g., from “°C” to “no unit”), the channel in question might have been assigned to the wrong scale in the analysis graph. This error has been remedied.
New features and improvements
-
Process monitoring in Windows via a daemon
Previously, smartWARE processes in Windows were monitored by the Supervision smartWARE program. Since this program has a graphical user interface, it could not run without an active user session.
From version 7.0.1.0, the start scriptstart_smartWARE.batwas enhanced to include a daemon process. This process runs in the background, monitors the active smartWARE processes, and automatically restarts them in the event of an unexpected termination.
As a result,start_smartWARE.batcan be run directly at system startup via the Windows Task Scheduler, regardless of whether a user is logged in.
If the daemon process is started manually and the user logs out, the daemon process is also terminated. For user-independent operation, the daemon must be started via the Task Scheduler (see the Daemon startup mode section).

SmartWARE Process Manager
The smartWARE Process Manager is a new management tool that replaces the previous Supervision smartWARE program.
It is used solely to visualize the process status and no longer provides independent process monitoring. This function has been completely transferred to the daemon process. -
Main view
The main view displays the current status of all smartWARE processes. Each process is shown with its name, operational status, and other status information.
-
Expert View
You can use the "Expert View" button to display advanced process details. This view helps diagnose potential operational issues.
-
Configuration
Click the "Configuration" button to open the Config smartWARE basic configuration. There, you can adjust the software's basic settings, such as:-
nginx port
-
User management password rules

Daemon startup mode
The daemon process' status tile indicates how the monitoring process was started:
|
Display |
Meaning |
|---|---|
|
Task Scheduler |
The daemon was started using the Windows Task Scheduler and runs even when no user is logged in. |
|
Manual |
The daemon was started manually and is tied to the active user session. |
To ensure that process monitoring continues even when no user is logged in, the daemon process (start_smartWARE.bat startup script) must be started via the Windows Task Scheduler. In this case, monitoring is automatically activated at system startup, regardless of whether a user is logged in.
The start_smartWARE.bat script must be run under the user account under which the smartWARE software was installed.
